I purchased an ebook (two of them, actually) from some Japanese site called honto, but of course, stupid old me didn't realise that Digital Restrictions Management was going to make my life a living hell. Has anyone had any luck with cracking them, or did I just spend 730 Yen on a nothingburger?

Apparently, there are some local files on my phone from "doenloading" the ebook, but they won't load. In the browser I had a little more luck, but the images are scrambled when I attempt to "inspect element".

What do I do? I really want to get this to work...

Digital Restrictions Management

Isn't it "digital rights management"?

What "rights" are there in the first place? This measure hurts the customer in the long run

Copyright. I'm not making some statement of value. I fucking hate it as much as the next person here, just pointing out the proper acronym.

That kind of shit is just annoying. Changing the terms because you don't like what they refer to is just lazy virtue signaling. It's the equivalent of injecting some variant of "penis" into someone's name because you don't like them. The context of the conversation should be sufficient enough to establish your opinion on the topic without it. For instance, making a post asking about how to remove drm.
